Start Streaming With OBS

Below are the key tips we recommend to keep your streams stable, high-quality, and stress-free.

Hardware tips

Keep your setup simple

• Most issues come from hardware, not OBS

• Fewer cables, adapters, and devices = fewer things that can break

Use direct cables

• Always use the correct cable type for your camera

• Example: Micro HDMI → HDMI cable (not an adapter)

• Avoid adapters unless absolutely necessary

• Adapters can cause lag, audio/video sync issues, and overheating (avoid using these)

Use a powered hub

• Live streaming is power-intensive

• Use a hub that plugs into the mains (not bus-powered)

• Minimum recommended ports:

  • HDMI (camera)

  • Audio input (e.g. 3.5mm)

  • USB-C output

• We recommend the ATEM Mini Pro

Use a powerful computer

• OBS + live video needs strong processing power

• Lower-spec machines can cause dropped frames and crashes

Video & audio quality

• Use good lighting

• Set exposure and white balance before going live

Audio

• Use OBS noise suppression if needed

• Avoid capturing the same audio source twice
